[PRCo] Re: 3-car fantrip from Pittsburgh to PRMA Washington

A follow-up to the commentary on the many photos taken of 832 at the Drake
loop:

I take mostly color slides, and if I have time I'll take some B&W photos of
the same scene, especially if it's a view of a stationary car or locomotive.
When I snap extra B&W shots, for each "extra" view I always take a step
right or left by a about a foot.  Later, this trick makes it easy to match
each negative with the appropriate print.  It's surprising how such a slight
lateral movement of the camera will produce great differences in the
apparent position of background objects (e.g., telephone poles) near the
main subject.
